Why does water in fuel light come on every 5 miles after you drain water fuel separator and no water in fuel?

The sensor in the fuel filter housing is bad. I had the same problem on my 2003 6.0L F-350. I had the Ford dealership change the sensor ($110.00) and I have not had the light come since.

Where is the fuel filter location on a Ford f250 diesel?

what model f250 diesel are you referring to the 7.3 powerstrokes have fuel filter on top of engine. 6 lit engines have filter lower down in fuel line, so it depends which model and which year the 2008 6.4 dual turbo has a pre-filter / water separator on the underside of the truck - under the driver side floor board. A second / final filter is on the top of the engine near the front. It is near the oil filter housing. Ford says to change the two at the same time. You should also drain out the water separator every month or so. (in particular in the winter when the colder weather can lead to condensation in the tanks / line) It has a lever to pull out and you only need to drain about a tablespoon of fuel get all of the water out.


How do you change a fuel filter on a dodge cummins?

How to change 89-98 Cummins fuel filterHere is Directions for a 94-96; A 89-93 is nearly the same but the filter is much easier to access. A 97-98 are almost the same but the filter sits inside a canister at the same place. The filter is located on driver side near the back of the engine (Pain in the rear to access). It is a metal type similar to an oil filter It has a water separator on the bottom of it. First unplug the wires on the water separator. Twist the filter off, a filter wrench may be necessary but they are difficult to get on the filter. Make sure gasket came with the filter. Remove the water separator change its rubber gasket and install on new filter. Make sure new gasket is properly seated on the new filter and fill filter with fresh diesel. Carefully put new filter back on engine, avoid getting debris in filter. Tighten 1/2 turn after gasket touches. Plug in Water separator wires Use manual primer to top off fuel in filter. It is located down and back from bottom of filter on engine block. Push it 30- 40 times Start vehicle.If the truck doesn't start crack the nuts loose on the first three injectors (by exhaust manifold). Crank engine until fuel sprays out of cracked nuts. Tighten nuts and start truck.After 1998.5 the lift pumps are electric and all you need to do is engage the starter for an instance and the pump will run.Always be sure to drain and clean the can the filter cartridge is in on a 1998.5 and later.


What do you do to fix the Water in Fuel on a 2006 F250 Diesel?

If the filter setup is the same as a 2000 the filter is on the top of the engine. look down beside the fuel filter for a yellow tab. turn the tab and the water / fuel will drain from the filter bowl. I recomend replacing you fuel filter also. Mine just unscrews from the top of the fuel filter housing.

How can water get into a ford transit 100 350L sealed diesel tank. diesel from the same garage all the time. I had ford dealer check for me all he would say the test shows water in diesel?

Diesel fuel is hygroscopic and absorbs water. It's not unusual for diesel vehicles to have water in the fuel. Use a fuel conditioner and water remover, and use the water separator drain if it has one.

Fuel filter is located inside the fuel tank so you have to remove you fuel tank to replace the fuel filter. I had a problem with mine and had to replace the fuel pump and filter at the same time.
